Some Tips for Singapore Scholarship


As requested, the following info may help you to prepare for SG scholarship, THE SECOND ROUND, after you pass khmer exam.

Although, the first round hasn't started yet, it is important that you prepare for the second round. The reasons are: 1. It is only a week (usually) after the application result release that you will take the 2nd round 2. Unlike first round, the 2nd round is the SG turn to set the problem for exam. It might be very difficult compare to our standard highschool level especailly, to the best of my knowledge, for Physic, Chemisty and Biology.

The process may be found here. (it is written by sister Sokly)

OK now here is the process i recommend.

1) Knowing / Deciding what subject/major you will study in SG.
-Although it might look easy. Indeed, it was the hardest part for me, because once you select yr major, your whole life/ study here will be like that. Can't change. So make sure you study what you like. Right now i'm glad to study my be loved subject, Computer Science. :). This link contain all the subject that you might be able to apply.



Pls also be noted that, not all subject you can study. For example, Aero Space Engineering is the toughest subject here. They might not allow you to take it. For BIO/MEDICAL i am not sure, but the probability that you pass is low also.


2) Prepare for Entrance exam base on the major you choose.
-i) Normally in filling the application form, you will have to select three/five choice.
-ii) Because last year, NTU was the host to exam, I am 95% confident in saying that, this year, the exam will be in NUS format. Dun worry, some of you may not understand what it mean. It doesn't matter. NUS format has Part A B C and NTU is not like that. You will know when you download the exam syllabus.
-iii) Please visit this site to understand more as well as knowing which subjects you will have to take in 2nd round :


For example, if you choose to study economic there you will have to take {Math AO, Humanity, English }. If you choose computer engineering you will have to take { Math A, Physic A, English}.

3) How to prepare syllabus after you choose major you like and knowing which subjects you are going to deal with in exam:

This link contain all the syllabus and sample. (It is at the bottom of the page/webpage)

4) Preparing Document:
Unfortunately I only know abt MATH A level/ MATH AO LEVEL/ PHYSIC/ English.
i) FOR math both AO and A level it is a huge benefit and enough if you study throught this wesite:
http://www.wtamu.edu/academic/anns/mps/math/mathlab/col_algebra/index.htm

This web has sufficient knowledge to pass you the entrance exam. Remember to study within the syllabus area.

I don't know that website when i were preparing and i just know it now. Consider you r lucky.
For MATH AO level, there are some books at Hunsen Library. Find a book(s) with title Math AO level (=Ordinary level)


iii) English, it is not as hard as physic but at least it is still hard. Writing skill /reading/ vocab can learn from Toefl. If you are strong enough you can try SAT.

this website might help also :

Beside that pls visit this link to see how excited you are if you pass :

That's all i can help. Hope you pass.
